Christie Lee drank Fu Ding White Tea Cake 2014 福鼎白茶 by Fu Ding Tea

19 tasting notes

I picked this up while I was living in China last year after spending a few hours drinking tea with a shop owner down a street called “Tea City” where a bunch of old Chinese guys hang out and drink and sell tea, no other foreigners in sight.

The cake itself isn’t very aromatic- it smells like dry leaves. Once steeped there is a slight floral/autumn day kind of aroma.

It is incredibly light in both color and flavor- slightly astringent, my third and fourth steeping was incredible. This kind of white tea lowers your blood pressure; and I feel it after a few cups. I feel mellow, relaxed, and really peaceful!

Too bad I can’t find out any more imformation on this cake! I spent a lots of time trying to find it online but I can’t seem to! I’m looking forward to trying more 福鼎白茶 cakes to compare!

Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Honey

Preparation

2 tsp 3 OZ / 88 ML

Bio

Christ follower, tea lover.

Born in Montreal, Canada- studied and lived in both California, and mainland China. I speak English, French, and Mandarin Chinese.

I drink tea, study tea, write about tea, touch tea, and work (at Tealyra!) with tea- all day. My hands are matcha-stained.

I have lived in China- and had the opportunity to drink the most incredible orthodox teas, traveled to Yunnan and browse pu’erh shops, and even made my own small batch Japanese green tea outside of Kyoto, Japan.

I think my initial love of tea is rooted in childhood memories with my Grandmama sipping honey-sweetened tisane. My appreciation for all things Camelia Sinensis has grown and matured since those fruity tisane childhood days.

Likes : Oolong (especially true milk oolong), Japanese teas, and pu’erh. I appreciate most teas and herbal infusions.

Dislikes : licorice, fennel, too-much ginger, too-much hibiscus.

Self-proclaimed lover of tea: passionate about Jesus, people, traveling, I love music, fragrance and good food.

I work for Tealyra (used to be named Tealux), I am our house Tea Sommelier. I am blessed to have access to some of the best teas in the world daily! I am a Certified Tea Sommelier through ITMA (studied tea in China, Hong Kong, and in Montreal).

You can read all my tasting notes for Tealyra on our website, I taste and write for our company.
